Former South Bend Mayor Roger Parent

In this episode, I meet with former South Bend mayor Roger Parent. We first discuss his book, Getting Things Done, and then he shares his memories of our downtown's urban renewal in general, but more specifically the ill fated downtown shopping mall plans in the 1970s & early 80s.

If you're from the South Bend/Mishawaka area, then his book is a must read! Click on the link below to purchase his book, Getting Things Done: Stories of Leadership from the South Bend Mayor's Office to the School Board, the Peace Corps and Beyond, or purchase on Amazon.
